How many fucking books are there? I had to read "That's not my truck" last week. "That's not my truck. It's sides are to ridgey". WTF! £5.99 for 5 pictures of things with fun fur or something on them? They're taking the piss! "That's not my hamster". Seriously! Where's the plot?!

Coming soon:

That's not my poo. It's sides are too glittery.
That's not my poo. It's top is too floaty.
That's my poo. It's tail end is so sweetcorny!

£5.99. Angry

''That's not my mummy, she's smiling.
That's not my mummy, she isn't stressed.
That's not my mummy, she's fit and attractive.
That's not my mummy, she's only the person who gave birth to me.
THAT'S my mummy, she's a complete stranger and aged 14.

Sorry, to the teen stranger DS called mummy all the way up the high street.''

There are 39 of them. So, who's managed the full series? Grin

This isn't my forum, it's all boring and mindless
This isn't my forums, no opinions in excess

This is my forum! yoni delights to confess

Oh yes please Raspberry Grin

DS licks the Pandas in 'That's not my Panda'

He doesn't lick any other book.

I have no idea why that is Confused

Ah catgirl at least he doesn't lick the that's not my fanny book that tweasels has. Grin

OhHullitsOnlyMeYoni · 05/05/2013 21:32

Oh god yes! And the bloody words seem slightly wrong - a cat with a blue coat (just to confuse yr DC about colours of cats and whether they wear coats), hairy tail - yes it is 'hair' but hairy just seems wrong in this context. Yes, I probably was over-thinking it all by the 9292425th time we read it Sad

Am I the only maniac that asks my one year old after every page, "where's the mouse? Do you see the mouse? There's mousey! There's the mouse!"

And despair because she has never pointed to it.

catgirl1976 · 05/05/2013 21:34

Hahah Grin

I would be a little concerned if he was :)

Perhaps I will steer clear of that particular title until he is a lot older

TalcAndTurnips · 05/05/2013 21:43

Seeing Maryz mentioning Peter and Jane upthread makes me long for an MN version.

Here is Jane1968. She reads the thread.

The thread is bad. Jane is sad. She writes too.

AIBU goes batshit. Jane opens wine.

Jane gets totes blattered. Pat the dog licks her face. We love Pat.

brilliant!

I want all of those.

That's my mother-in-law! She's sooooooo passive-aggressive!

Ok, I'll stop now.

TalcAndTurnips · 05/05/2013 22:07

TiggyD - could you not pen one along the lines of That's not my poo flume?

It would be nice to introduce a whole new generation of children to the concept

That's not my handbag. It has clean tissues in it.
That's not my handbag. It isn't full of used nappies and snot.
